I'm sure every person on this board is fairly sane, but do you ever, 'feel,' crazy?

I have been feeling that way a lot lately. I know that I'm an intelligent person, but sometimes I feel like I do or put up with things normal people wouldn't.

Last night my husband and this girl who has been staying at our house decided to write all over each other with permanent magic marker. My idea was to use Mr. Clean's magic eraser to remove the marker. Well, it worked, but five minutes later it left them quite raw and in pain.

I decided to try it on my tattoo after seeing what Mr. Clean did. (I have been removing my tattoo using acids, but it is going slowly.) Magic Eraser removed the first layer of skin, but the tattoo did not come off. I poured Glycolic and Trichloroacetic Acid on my tattoo in an effort to remove it, but then I started having that, 'crazy,' feeling.

Do you think home tattoo removal with the using the right acids is too abnormal?

Do you ever have that, "I'm insane," feeling even though you know your not?

I definately feel insane although I can't say for certain that I'm not! Would wanting to slice the fat off your body, literally count?

Your picture looks so thin. Why would you want to do that?

I think doing something like that would be dangerous and best left to doctors. Why? Because best case scenario your body would look like my arms. Both my arms have huge red scars that will probably take months to heal due to the depth of my suicide attempt.

My early attempts of tattoo removal have left me quite scarred. I got my tattoo and removed parts of it both during a manic episode. I used a sander.

My current attempts involve using powerful skin peels.

I feel 'insane' from time to time, but I don't know if I am or if it is just everything going on in my life.
